On
Thursday 29th November in the
Chapel's Sunday School Room,
Week St. Mary, David Martin
signed new copies of his book.
The Room, decorated with posters
and a small display of old
photographs, soon filled with
supporters.

One of the highlights of the
afternoon was the entry of one
of the original evacuees, Audrey
Tarrant, who, on June 20th 1940,
walked through the door of the
Sunday School Room with other
children from Croydon, once
again walked through those doors
wearing an identity label,
carrying a box of personal
possessions around her neck and
clutching a small teddy bear -
the same bear that she carried
all those years ago - thank you
Audrey for that touch of
realism.

Some 133 copies of the book were
signed on that day.

My thanks to all my family who
attended on that day and those
who helped with refreshments.

the visitors to my book signing day,
